Flower/Vegetable Garden
		Using 2-3 inches of Mulch around borders of gardens and landscapes will help suppress weed growth and will help with water retention. For the winter months it will help maintain a consistent soil temperature.

Turf
		If possible, keep the lawn free of leaves and also pay attention to drainage issues which should be addressed before the spring to help prevent diseases from occurring. Gypsum can be sprinkled or sprayed on the lawn to prevent salt damage to turf. While nothing will completely cure the lawn of salt damage, gypsum will help.

Pond Care
		Install a pond de-icer to maintain a hole in the pond to allow oxygen to enter for the benefit of the fish and to remove toxic gases that are produced by the fish.
